deep_tissue_theupperhanddayspaDeep Tissue / Neuromuscular
Deep Tissue is excellent for headaches, muscle spasms, chronically tense areas such as stiff necks, low back tightness and stress. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down adhesions that occur in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. Using moderate to deep pressure, the movements are slower and more concentrated on areas of tension and pain which allows for total relaxation to tired and sore muscles. Neuromuscular Massage Therapy (NMT) is also called trigger point therapy. This is a very effective type of therapy for lower back pain                                                         which is often caused by soft tissue injury. NMT consists of                                                       alternating levels of concentrated pressure on the areas of                                                       muscle spasm.

Swedish Massage
When people think of a relaxing massage, most think of a Swedish Massage. This form of massage combines various hands-on techniques including long gliding strokes, kneading, and cross-fiber friction to break up muscle knots, called adhesions. The massage could be slow and relaxing, or vigorous and bracing, all depending on what results the client and therapist are trying to achieve from the massage. This type of massage is extremely beneficial for increasing the level of oxygen in the blood, decreasing muscle toxins, improving circulation and flexibility while easing tension.

Trauma, disease, wear & tear and bad habits are the most common problems associated with this condition. Massage movements are focused on the jaw area of the face and the neck and shoulders, helping to ease tension and reduce stress.

Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial Release works with the body's connective tissue in order to improve posture, treat chronic pain disorders and help reduce scar tissue. It is a gentle tractioning force applied to the fascial restrictions resulting in the body's connective tissue to slowly and effectively release itself. This is a time released, stretching method that can help realign fascial planes, increase blood flow to the area being treated and reset soft tissue. MFR helps to increase lymphatic drainage and reprogram the central nervous system, which helps create a greater range of motion.

Lymphatic Massage
This technique incorporates slow, gentle and specific movements of the hands to stimulate lymphatic flow.  It utilizes a light touch and is not meant to be done with a heavy hand. The ultimate goal is drainage of the affected site to the lymph nodes. The effects of Lymphatic Massage on the body systems enhances the Immune System. It is calming and soothing to the sympathetic nervous system and is one of the most effective massage techniques for Cellulite because it helps remove excess fluid and reduce swelling, thereby smoothing out the appearance of the skin. Lymphatic Massage is an excellent treatment for Rosacea, Acne, Post-Laser Abrasion, Post-Cosmetic Surgery and Post-Peel because it helps reduce inflammation as well as increase the healing time.

*Please Note: When we speak about drainage regarding Lymphatic Massage, we are talking about moving stagnate lymph away from a specific area of the body to the lymph nodes; the bodies natural filtering system.  For liability reasons our therapists only work within the scope of practice as a massage therapist. We are not physical therapists or licensed within medical standards to perform this technique on individuals who have recently received cosmetic lipo surgery AND still have drain tubes in place or open wounds. Tubes must be removed and incision's healed. We will work on individuals having received this type of surgery provided all drain tubes have been removed and incision's are closed.
